Episode 2
Martin Sixsmith presents a history of psychology and seeks to understand what makes us think, feel and act the way we do.
In the second week of his series about the history of psychology and the mind, Martin examines the medicalised model for the care of mentally disturbed patients, psychiatry. He visits a Victorian asylum, traces changing treatments - from lobotomies and Electroconvulsive Therapy to pharmacological solutions - and he considers the impact of reforms that led to 'care in the community'.
